Remote Desktop

I have a friend who is looking at getting Vista for his business notebook computer. However, part of what he will need is to be able to Remote Desktop into an XP computer he has at work. He does it right now with an XP notebook. So...will he be able to do this with Vista?

Hi CVC. The Remote Desktop feature is only available in Windows Vista Business, Ultimate, and Enterprise editions. See here for more information.

Thank you for the response!

I saw that page while trying to search for the answer, but I wasn't clear on if this would allow the Vista machine to Remote Desktop onto an XP machine. It seems to say that it allows computers to use programs that use terminal services over the internet....does this mean remote desktop would work?
